dealer told me that probsb-

most likely TO come to the front in tue
future as the substitute for buffalo fur,
is the sheep ska. Coats made of
sheep skin, dyed black, are quite
handsome, and they sell at about the
price that buffalo coats brought years

The apparatus employed in the capture
Of swordfish, Professor Goode says. is
simple. 1t is harpoon with a detacL.
able head. When the fish is struck tie
head Of the harpoon remains in the body
Of the fish, and carries with it light
rope, which is either made fast OF held
BY man in a small boat, or is attached
to some kind Of buoy, which is towed
through the water by the struggling fish.
and which marks its whereabouts after
death. The harpoon consists Of a pole
fifteen or sixteen feet in length. usually
Of hickory or some other hard wood,
upon which the bark has been left. so
that the harpooner may have a firmer
hand grip. This pole is from an inch
and half to two inches in diameter,
and at one end is provided with an iron
rod or shank about two feet long and
five-eighths Of an inch in diameter.
This shank is fastened to the pole by
means Of conical or elongated, cuplike
expansion at one end, which fits over the
sharpened end Of the pole, to which it is
secured by screws or spikes. A light line
extends from one end of the pole 10 the
point where ii joins the shank. and in
this line is tied loop, by which is made
fast another short line, which secures the
pole TO the vessel or boat. so that when it
Is thrown at the fish il cannot he lost.
Upon the end of the shank fits the head
of the harpoon.
The entire weight Of the harpoon. pole,
shank and head should not exceed eight
cen pounds. The line is from so to
$50 fathoms long. In addition 10 the
harpoon, every swordfisherman carries
lance, This implement is precisely
similar to a whaleman's lance. except
that it is smaller, consisting Of lapceo-
late blade perhaps one inch wide and
two inches long, upon the end Of
shank Of five-eighths inch iron, perhaps
two or three feet in length. fastened in
the ordinary way upon a pole fifteen to
eighteen inches in length.
The swordiish are always harpooned
from the end Of the bowsprit Of sailing
vessel. II is next TO impossible to APP
proach them in a small boat. All ves-
sells regularly engaged in this fishe.y are
supplied with a special apparatus. called q
"rest" or -. dlpit, for the support of the
harpooner IA ne stands on the bowsprit,
and this Is Amos. essential 10 success.
When the fish is from six to ten feet in
front Of the vessel il is struck. The har.
poon is never thrown, the pole being toe
long. The strong arm of the harpooner
punches the dart into the back Of the
fish, right at the side Of the high dorsi
fin, and the pole is Withdrawn and fast
ened again to its place. When the dare
has been fastened to he fish the line 10
allowed TO run out as fan as the fish will
carry il. and is then passed in a small
boat, which is towing at the stern. Tvs
men jump into this, and pulling in upon
the line until the fish is brought in along
side, il is then killed with a whale lance
OF a whale spade, which is struck into
the gills.-New York Mail and Express.
